ALCFES Rules for Skit

1. The skit competition is divided into two separate levels. The Beginner Level will be comprised of French I and French II students only. The Advanced Level may be comprised of French I, II, III, IV, and V students. A school can enter the skit competition in only one level, either beginner or advanced. Participants are requested to include the name of their skit with all other information in the registration form. If a school plans to enter a skit using one or more participants above French II, that skit must be entered in the Advanced Level.

2. There is a time limit of 3 to 5 minutes per skit presentation. A skit will be automatically disqualified if extended beyond the 5 minute limit. This can be avoided if the skit is timed during practice. There is also a time limit of 3 minutes for setup preparation between skits.

3. Skits will be judged on originality, usage of French, and audience appeal. No special credit will be given for elaborate costumes or scenery.

4. If your skit will need chairs, tables, microphones, etc., we will furnish these items for you. Please list these items on the registration form.

**Teachers should approve all skits prior to performance for appropriateness. **

NOTE: Since other competitive activities may overlap the skit competition, avoid entering students in the skit competition if they are participating in other events.
